उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) कानून और व्यवस्था बनाए रखना
Maintenance of law and order is not one of the ten areas the World Bank's Doing Business ranking measured. Paying taxes, registering property and dealing with construction permits are all among the ten.
- ✓ (a) The ten areas in the ease of doing business score were: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. Law and order is not on the list.
- ✗ (b) Paying taxes is one of the ten areas.
- ✗ (c) Registering property is one of the ten areas.
- ✗ (d) Dealing with construction permits is one of the ten areas.
- • Since then After data irregularities were found in Doing Business 2018 and 2020, the World Bank Group discontinued the Doing Business report in September 2021; no new rankings have been published.
Remember · Doing Business had ten indicators (starting a business to resolving insolvency); law and order was never one. The World Bank discontinued the report in September 2021.
